Clear button on the alphanumeric pad, and youÕll be prompted to enter a bank number. Type
the desired number on the alphanumeric pad, then press Enter . The bank will be selected, and
youÕll return to the Quick Access page.
You can also use the alphanumeric pad to select strings to search for in the currently selected list
of objects, and to enter new strings to search for. The search function is described fully on

Lastly, rack users can play notes from the numeric keypad by holding down the Cancel button
while pressing alphanumeric buttons. This is described fully on page 3-10 of the MusicianÕs
Guide .
